Bec applied for and was accepted into Starfleet Academy in 2393, however, she had to retake her first year due to a poor overall score. She originally attempted to be an all rounder, taking basic classes in engineering, security and Medical, not yet quite sure which direction she would head into. Once the end of year results were out she made the choice of majoring in security. Bec didn't have many friends at the academy, as she was mainly found studying or catching up on last-minute work, determined not to let her chance to "run away to starfleet" fly away in the wind. When she got to Amity she found everyone clearly already forming friendships and acquaintances but found it surprisingly easy to scoot into those groups and determine her small corner of mates. She never thinks too much about climbing the ranks.

Rebecca, or Bec as she is currently known to most people, was born as the youngest of four on stardate 237508.23. She was a relatively healthy baby, as best as one might be able to get from a half-klingon hybrid, but she did not go home to a healthy environment.  
#'''238901.31''': Bec Begins secondary school
 
#'''238909.11''': Bec's brother Brandon leaves home for Risa. He hasn't been back since.
Bec began Primary school on stardate 238002.03.
#'''239112.20''': Bec completes Year 10. Although many of her friends drop out of school at this point, she continues with her studies.
 
#'''239301.29''': Bec applies for Starfleet Academy
2383 was the first year that Bec joined her brothers sneaking out to the [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney_Gay_and_Lesbian_Mardi_Gras Sydney Marti-Gras]. It quickly became an annual tradition until Bec left home.
#'''239810.13''': Bec graduates from the academy and is assigned to Amity outpost
 
#'''239905.30''': Bec is promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade.
Bec's oldest brother left for Starfleet Academy in 2384, going into the sciences. His departure left a significant emptiness in the family, who were suddenly left without a big brother to lean on.
 
In 238806, Bec met an almost lifelong friend, Grace, a relationship that eventually wavered in ‘92.
 
At the end of 2389, overloaded with stress from her first year of high school coming to a close, and with her mother beginning to become more violent at home, Bec took the opportunity to speak to the school counsellor, Miss Hartshorn, about her struggles. Bec insisted the conversation be kept confidential, but Hartshorn broke this trust and reached out to Bec’s mother to try and rectify the situation. This, however, ultimately made things worse, and destroyed Bec’s trust in counsellors<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-amity/c/JjI7fT32Ahw/m/npbpkpLCAQAJ ''"Be careful what you wish for"''] Lt Rebecca Iko, [[Amity Outpost]], SD240011.23 </ref>.
 
While walking home from school in early 2390, Bec’s brother Brandon stated that he was going to finally report their mother for domestic violence, because he “had had enough of their mother’s crap”. The group of siblings all collectively stopped walking, and mused over the punishments that might (and later that night, did occur). Soon after Brandon revealed that he chickened out at the last minute, and though he came so close, did not actually say anything about their mother’s treatment of them to authorities.
 
Bec first caught her brother Brandon smoking snakeleaf in 2390, about a week after his attempt to report their mother. He was introduced to the drug by his boyfriend at the time, Stephen, and despite the disapproval of all his siblings, he continued to take the drug. <ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-amity/c/-2t6ZfmLYwM/m/TGwfN3ipAwAJ ''"[JP] - Bec and Moore's Totally Awesome Adventure (pt. 2)"''] Lt.

2390 was a wild ride—where for Bec, the effects of growing up and puberty were at it's peak. Frustrated by constantly having to get her fringe trimmed, thanks to what she would only recognise later as an effect of her Klingon biology (Jak’tahla link). The fast hair growth, the chaos with her brother and a fall into more anger than usual caused Bec to make the decision of a change of style. She gave herself a buzzcut, much to her mother's dismay, and grew out the style in the time that followed.
 
In May, 2391, Brandon left home—something he had been threatening to do for weeks prior, complaining that he “couldn’t live under their mother’s rule anymore” with deep paranoia in his voice, something that in hindsight, was likely because of the drug he was taking. Their mother was so devastated at the news of “losing her child” (who had already disappeared off-world) that she turned to the others with severe warnings should they ever try to permanently leave.
 
This warning delayed Bec from leaving in the same way until 239202, to couch-surf her way through her final two years of school at friends houses, eventually ending up in Melbourne (Though Bec still attended school in Sydney). Her mother continuously tried to make contact with Bec during this time, and while her mother’s threats were successful, Bec still refused to return home.
 
Bec left for Starfleet Academy in 2393, overjoyed to finally shed herself of Sydney and her mother’s control, at least for the school year. However, the academy proved much more difficult than Bec first thought it would be, keeping her on her toes, with the new cadet not achieving as well as she wished. She returned home for break at the end of the year, and reported how her efforts were only just keeping her floating above the tide. When her mum stated that Bec wasn’t “smart enough to graduate” and that she should just try “Officer Candidate School” Bec took it up as a challenge, and finished the next three years of the academy out of spite, slowly breaking off contact with her mother again.
